Signs of wasps around a Morehead City home

Wasps coming and going from one spot on the house, garage or yard
Paper nests under roof eaves or tucked into shrubs and trees
Wasps flying in and out of the ground, which points to a nest underground
Chewed tunnels or pathways in wood around your property
Perfectly round holes with sawdust below in a deck, railing or fascia board, a sign of carpenter bees

Don’t knock the nest down or spray it yourself. Yellowjackets defend their nests, so keep your distance and leave it for the inspector.

How we treat wasps in Morehead City

Every job starts with a free inspection, because the right treatment depends on which insect built the nest. Spending more time outside? Ask about mosquito control for the yard at the same visit.

Identify the insect

Yellowjackets, paper wasps, European hornets and carpenter bees all nest differently. Our inspector confirms which one you have and recommends the solution.

Nest treatment and removal

Our technicians do the dangerous work, in bee suits and on a lift when a nest is high on a building. That includes removing hornet nests.

Prevention and retreatments

We monitor your property for nests and wasp activity and use preventive treatments to keep them from moving back in. Retreatments are available.

Carpenter bee damage

Carpenter bees tunnel into decks, railings, eaves and fascia boards. We treat the activity and fill the damaged holes.

Wasp control questions from Morehead City

Should I knock down a wasp nest myself?

No. Wasps sting, and yellowjackets can aggressively defend a nest when someone gets too close. Stay away from it and let a trained technician identify and treat it.

Where do wasps nest around Morehead City homes?

Under roof eaves, in shrubs and trees, on other structures and sometimes underground. On the Crystal Coast it pays to check the eaves, porches and decks of beach houses and rentals.

Are carpenter bees the same as wasps?

No. Carpenter bees look like bumble bees with a smooth, shiny abdomen, and they tunnel into wood to nest. NC State Extension’s stinging insect guide shows how to tell the common ones apart.

What if the wasps come back after treatment?

Call us. Retreatments are available, and we can set up an ongoing program with preventive treatments to help keep wasps from returning.

Do you treat wasps at businesses in Carteret County?

Yes. Our Morehead City office treats homes and commercial properties in Morehead City, Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, Newport and the rest of Carteret County.
